We went to the car show today hosted at the Strategic Air Command Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. The cars were featured near the planes that are normally found in the museum. Bob’s Mustang My brother-in-law, Bob Sorensen, had his 2011 Mustang at the show. It’s parked under a B-52. Kim Had Fun Kim got to sit in one of the classic cars while we were there. More Cars and Planes Here are some more cool-looking cars and planes.

This was a good trip down memory lane for me. One of the stories that stood out to me was Batman #251 ( which made the cover ) I think Batman #251 is just a great comic. I had the Batman #251 issue and a number of the issues of The Joker but I seemed to be missing about every other one of them. I hadn’t realized the #10 was never actually published.

When I was most actively reading comics in the 1970’s and early 1980’s comics with a space-bound characters or characters in science-fiction stories often piqued my interest. In the 1970’s, the various reprints of the adventures of Adam Strange, The Space Ranger and Cryll, The Atomic Knights, and Captain Comet (among others) were favorites of mine. DC had begun a reprint-line of comics in 1976 called DC Super-Stars. Issues 2, 4, 6, and 8 of this title all had the sub-heading of Space.

I reviewed the previous Epic trade here. Collecting The Defenders #26-41, Giant-Size Defender #5 & Annual #1 and Marvel Treasury Edition #12. The Headmen return in this collection although their name was in the last collection’s title. This collection helped to cement the ongoing story together for me since I had a bunch of these issues, but I was often getting only every-other issue when I was a kid. There’s a lot of brain-swapping and mind-swapping that goes on in these stories.

Collects Detective Comics Annual #1, Green Arrow #1-8, Green Arrow Annual #1, The Question #17-18, The Question Annual #1, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters #1-3 This was an impulse buy when I was in the shop not too long ago. I have The Longbow Hunters in a collected edition. I enjoy that story. I wanted to see a bit more of where Grell took Green Arrow having only seen the Urban Hunter version of GA in The Longbow Hunters and The Question.

This review is based on the Kindle™ edition of the book. The cover says that it collects issues #1 - #10 of Omega the Unknown and issues #76 - #78 of The Defenders. That’s not correct. Defenders #78 isn’t in this collection, nor does it need to be. I had Omega #5 and the two Defenders issues as a kid. Going back and re-reading those issues plus the entirety of the series, plus the intro by Mary Skrenes and the lettercols that they added, it makes a bit more sense.

This volume collects the first eleven issues of the series that began in 2018. This was an impulse buy for me. I saw it in the shop a few weeks ago and I picked it up. after looking through the first few pages. The art was nice enough and with Waid at the writing helm, what could go wrong? Doctor Strange can be really a hit-and-miss for creative teams. If you get the wrong team on the title … especially the writer … the good doctor just doesn’t seem like himself.

With quite the list of contributing creators : Collecting DEFENDERS (1972) #12-25, GIANT-SIZE DEFENDERS #1-4 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE (1974) #6-7 - plus material from MYSTERY TALES #21, WORLD OF FANTASY #11 and TALES OF SUSPENSE (1959) #9. I originally sought out this tome as I was going to do a write-up about the weird super-villain group known as The Headmen who appeared in several of Gerber’s trippy Defenders comics in the 70’s.

Shortly after I arrived on the planet, a television series appeared featuring a comic book character who would grow to be my favorite of them all. My first recollection of this TV series is actually the film that was based on the first season of the series. In the film, Batman and Robin have to deal with the likes of The Joker ( Caesar Romero ), The Riddler ( Frank Gorshin ), Catwoman ( Lee Meriwhether ), and The Penguin ( Burgess Meredith ).

7 Sep 2025 Nick Andrew contacted me with some Python-based utilities for manipulating CMD files. You can find them here: https://github.com/nickandrew/nick-src-trs80/blob/main/bin/cmdfile.py https://github.com/nickandrew/nick-src-trs80/blob/main/bin/hex2cmd.py Nick mentions this in his interview on my Stray Pointers podcast. The link below has a few source URL’s for the Podcast on a few platforms: https://straypointers.com/e/s3e09.htm 10 Jun 2023 I had originally published this text on Sunday, November 8, 2009. It’s seen a couple of revisions. There’s some C code in this post, but the main point of the post is to provide a way to dump TRS-80 binary CMD files.
